//Different validations:
 NSString * inputStr = @"Hey ";

//Check length
[inputStr length]

//Coming from server, check if its NSNull
[inputStr isEqual:[NSNull null]] ? nil : inputStr

//For validation in allowed character set
-(BOOL)validateString:(NSString*)inputStr
{
    BOOL isValid = NO;
    if(!([inputStr length]>0))
    {
        return isValid;

    }

    NSMutableCharacterSet *allowedSet = [NSMutableCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@".-"];
    [allowedSet formUnionWithCharacterSet:[NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet]];
    if ([inputStr rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[allowedSet invertedSet]].location == NSNotFound)
    {
        // contains only decimal set and '-' and '.'

    }
    else
    {
        // invalid
        isValid = NO;

    }
    return isValid;
}

if (string.length == 0) stringIsEmpty;

这对我来说是一种魅力

如果NSString是s

if ([s isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]] || s == nil || [s isEqualToString:@""]) {

    NSLog(@"s is empty");

} else {

    NSLog(@"s containing %@", s);

}

只需使用一个if else条件，如下所示:

方法1:

if ([yourString isEqualToString:@""]) {
        // yourString is empty.
    } else {
        // yourString has some text on it.
    }

方法2:

if ([yourString length] == 0) {
    // Empty yourString
} else {
    // yourString is not empty
}

简单地检查你的字符串长度

 if (!yourString.length)
 {
   //your code  
 }

发送给NIL的消息将返回NIL或0，因此不需要测试NIL:)。

快乐编码…

非常有用的帖子，添加NSDictionary支持以及一个小的变化

static inline BOOL isEmpty(id thing) {
    return thing == nil
    || [thing isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]]
    || ([thing respondsToSelector:@selector(length)]
        && ![thing respondsToSelector:@selector(count)]
        && [(NSData *)thing length] == 0)
    || ([thing respondsToSelector:@selector(count)]
        && [thing count] == 0);
}
